Hello,

I am facing a problem integrating a SATA-USB SDD with my raspberry pi running openelec Kodi.

I am seeing a message upon startup saying that the drive has been recognised by the Kodi system.

However, after opening an ssh connection to the drive and using "df-h" I do not see the drive mounted.

Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                367.4M         0    367.4M   0% /dev

tmpfs                   373.9M         0    373.9M   0% /tmp

The drive has definitely been recognised by the device. Command dmesg | paste delivers the following URL: http://ix.io/1ZLa. Here, I can see that:
[2.812032] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg

I'm not sure how to interpret this or the rest of the code in that file, though.

All of the standard mount directories don't contain any directories. I can't find the SDD anywhere! Please help.

Regards,
Samuel

Code:

[ 2.825452] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)

You are having power issues.
Get a proper PSU (the official ones are the best) and/or a self-powered usb enclosure.

I'm not sure if the above error refers to your entire Raspberry Pi device (in which case you need to get a more powerful power suppply, at least 2Amps), or if the error means that only the HDD isn't getting enough power.

If it's the HDD, there is an option you can add to /flash/config.txt that will increase the amount of current delivered to the USB ports to the maximum 1.2A (up from 500ma):

text:


max_usb_current=1

Obviously if the power supply you are using to provide the Raspberry Pi with power is insufficient/marginal then you may experience even greater instability with this option enabled.

I believe this option is now enabled by default, but as you're using OpenELEC - which hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and is now considered dead/abandoned you may need to manually add the option (as your RPi firmware is so old).

You should consider updating to LibreELEC which is the successor to OpenELEC, and is actively maintained.

Edit: From your dmesg, looks like you may already be using LibreELEC... in which case, what @asavah said.
